I am a full time artist living in Derbyshire, England. I have a BA (Hons) Degree in textile design, but I have enjoyed all types of art from an early age. I have been painting professionally since winning the Derbyshire Open in 2002.

Interested
in colour and texture of the land, I incorporate buildings within my pictures to
become an integral part of the landscape. Sometimes I focus on the architecture
and these paintings become characterful portraits, with a strong sense of the
past.

My
simplified paintings are my interpretation of the landscape, houses and buildings I see on my travels around Derbyshire.

My aim is to express my love of the landscape, architecture
and
heritage.
